THE BURNING OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF BRAZIL IN RIO DE JANEIRO
%National Museum of Brazil in Rio de Janeiro - the largest and oldest natural history museum in Latin America. It had just celebrated its 200th anniversary% when, in the evening on September 2nd, an electrical fire started on the ground floor of the museum. As the night progressed, it grew into an inferno that devastated the building and destroyed almost all of the collections it preserved. Within 10 hours, it was clear the destruction was immense: an estimated 18 million objects and specimens were turned to smoke and ash. Among the items lost were 30,000 artifacts from indigenous Brazilian communities, along with recordings of languages that no longer have living speakers. The entomology collection was destroyed when the floor it was stored on collapsed. It contained 5 million specimens, including a number of holotypes, which are the single individual animal on which its entire species is based. Without holotypes, future specimen identifications become all but impossible.

The Famous Garisenda Tower in Bologna Is Too Leaning!
No, it's not in Pisa—an Italian leaning tower is back at it! Instead, it's Bologna's Garisenda Tower, which has been closed off by authorities due to concerns over its collapse, along with the important piazza that sits next to it. These "twin towers," which are only a few meters away from the considerably taller Asinelli Tower (which is twice as tall), are iconic images of the city that have stood the test of time. The Garisenda has been 4 degrees slanted for centuries. However, "traces of unexpected rotation" in the incline have been discovered in recent inspections, prompting an immediate closure for "years."
